Room Acoustics Improvement Analysis in Open Planed Offices (2016)
​
Dilara Kelle, Prof. Dr. Sevtap Yilmaz

In the study, open-plan office environments with different plan schemes and surface properties were designed in 3D environment, simulated with ODOEN 10.0 and analyzed through objective parameters.  Taking into account the characteristics of the environment such as maximum communication and use of daylight, acoustic improvements were made by altering the material, movable units and plan scheme. To introduce the effectivenes of the imporovement, calculated STI, D2,S-spatial attenuation curve, Lp,A,S,4 m-sound pressure level, rD-attention distribution distance, rP-privacy distance parameters were compared ​with the optimum values ​​given in ISO standards and in the literature.

The Effects of Architectural Design Elements on Acoustic Performance in Arena Type Halls (2013)
​
Dilara Kelle, Prof. Dr. Sevtap Yilmaz

In this study, which examines the effect of the acoustic design process on the architectural environment, different acoustic environments are evaluated by changing various structural elements in a controlled way in an arena type hall. Comparisons of variations have been made by creating form, size or height differences on architectural design elements such as ceiling, side walls and canopies based on the designed main hall. The hall was calculated with the help of  Odeon 10 Combined simulation program, and the objective data obtained were compared to each other and to the optimum values found in the literature. The relationshipship between building element and  the acoustic environment was analyzed through the comparisons. As a result of the study, the positive and negative effects of building element designs on the acoustic environment has been introduced.

Evaluation of the Sound and Thermal Performance of the Facade of the Building on the Example of a Hospital  (2010)
​
Genuine Sezgin, Dr. Nurgun Bayazit

In the study, the sound and thermal performance of the glass curtain wall was evaluated in line with the methods selected among the methods of determining the sound and heat performance of the building facade. According to TS EN ISO 140-5 for sound insulation performance, measurements were made with the element loudspeaker method, which is one of the 4 different methods of measurement in the field environment, and compared with the desired values. As for the thermal performance, the building was simulated with the EnergyPlus simulation tool and the results were evaluated. According to the results of the existing building facade determined by the selected methods, improvement suggestions are presented to create the desired comfort conditions in terms of sound and thermal performance.

Acoustıc Design Approaches Of Recording Studios: A Case Study  (2021)

Dilara Kelle, Dr. Ayça Şentop Dümen, Prof. Dr. Sevtap Yılmaz

In the development of acoustic designof recording studios from the 50s to the present, many studies have been conducted and various approaches have been proposed to determine optimum room dimensions, room modes, speaker and receiver positioning, and surface properties. In this study, main design principles of the control room were compiled and demonstrated by applying them on a simulated room. A plan scheme, which is consistent with design principles, was developed and exported to a wave-based simulation program COMSOL. After the definition of inner shell according to LEDE (live-end-dead-end) and RFZ (reflection free zone) approaches, the iterattive analyzes were conducted and results were introduced the relationship between design and modal response.
